I can’t believe that we are getting a hobby lobby in Russellville,Ar.As soon as the Wal-mart supercenter is built,hobby lobby is going to come in and take the old Wal-mart over.This is great for me because I will have two hobby shops at my desposal.Digger
Life is good, Digger!
Paul
ahhhhhhh, your gonna love those 1/2 off sales my friend!!! i’m allready lookin’ for the next one!!! later.
I WANT ONE!!!
All my local shops are getting boring…
Fade to Black…
HEY,
Im with blackwolf, but i did just find a new hobby shop(not new, just that i havent been there), but a hobby lobby would be nice for all of those little cheap things that you guys are always talking about.
Randy
Sounds like good news, Digger!
Start saving your pennys Digger those 1/2/ off sales are just around the corner.
Thad
ahhhh…fortune smiles[:D]on the blessed…good for you digger.
i’d just like a shop that has models & cares or even knows of what they trade[:(]
Go ahead and rub it in. The nearest Hobby Lobby to me is 100 miles away.
HEY,
Ya well the closest Hobby Lobby to me is about 7 states away, probably about 1000 miles, atleast. Yep, nothing like that around here. Some craft stores but none of them carry models.
Randy
well, when i raided the hobby Lobby sale monday, i went to the Montgomery store which is 90 miles north of me, then, i went from there to the Mobile store, which is 90 miles south of me!!! i left at 7:30am and didn’t get back home til 8:30pm!!! it was worth it though!! later.
Lucky SOB [:D]
There used to be a National Hobby, I guess it’s something like a Hobby Lobby, but it closed a while ago. Really irritates me, because they too apparently had a half-off sale.
Well I told my wife that I would apply for a job there as soon as the start to come in.If hired I will be in heaven.Digger
I got four shops in my area…at least I think four…NE way, two are way the hell a ways, (20 miles or somethin. man I cant wiat til I cna drive…) and of course they r the ones that carry the after market and cheap stuff. the other two ar damn near on top of ewach other, but one carrys mainly R/C stuff, while the other has everythn under the sun. trains, cars, diecasts, metal figs from Britain’s, books, toys, crafts, dollhouses… cept after market, gggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!! and, of course, all their models are way the hell up there price wise. I found a small anti-tank gun there last year. I’ve seen it in mags for 5-6 bucks. they have it for 25!! course u can tell its a misprint, but the clerks havent changed it yet. bummer
Tim,
That’s all? I am in California and the nearest one to me is in Wyoming. [(-D]
I’m not driving that far even if they are 75% off. [:D][;)]
Mike
Wyoming!!??!?!!!??! Mike u gotta be kiddin me!! I see ads for model shops on the West Coast all the time. they’re everywhere.
NEways, just be glad u dont live in New York City, their situation there is embarassing. I’ve been down there a good number of times, and, get this, I’ve looked in their phone books…there are more garden and plant shops, than there are model shops. and this is in a city!! now u know why they never seem to post about hobby shows in New York. weird. u’d think that in a place where modeling would appear to be a cheaper more economical hobby, and by far more interesting hobby than other possibilities, it would thrive, but its almost unheard of.
one of the shops I was in was about 10 feet wide, 30-or-so feet deep, and range from 8-15 feet high. it was crammed with models, boht kits and ones the owner built. they’ve now moved, but their new location is still pretty small, not much larger actually, but cleaner.
Yes there are,but Mike is looking for is hobby lobby.Digger
That’s interesting … they just did that exact same thing here in Nashville. Wonder if Hobby Lobby and Walmart have some sort of arrangement going. Our new one opens on Monday and is about 10 miles closer than the other two (yes, TWO) around here.
i would be wiggin’ out if i had 2 HL in one city!!! i would be wondering which one to hit first for the 1/2 off sale!! later.
Chemman the prophet sez you won’t have long to wait after hobby lobby gets there until you again have only one hobby shop. If the other shop is a “local”, it’s only a couple of half price sales from extinction.
